As the first signs of spring emerge, Granton Goes Greener is calling on folk to roll up their sleeves for a community litter pick at Granton Crescent Park on Saturday, March 21.
The event, which runs from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, ties in with the nationwide #SpringCleanScotland 2026 campaign. Organised by Keep Scotland Beautiful, the month-long initiative encourages communities across the country to reclaim their green spaces from winter litter and waste.

What to Bring
Volunteers are encouraged to dress for the weather— keep an eye on the forecast.
Whether you can spare thirty minutes or the full two hours, every bag of litter collected helps protect local wildlife and makes the park a safer, more beautiful space for families as the warmer weather approaches.
